We partnered with Fika with the aim of helping staff and learners develop the mental fitness skills that will allow them to be more confident, resilient, and ready to face the world.
Improving mental health in education settings is a huge priority for us and we believe that potential can only be fulfilled if we feel mentally fit. That’s why we’re currently funding the use of Fika’s “7 Skills of Mental Fitness” curriculum for 69 FE centres.
The centres that are already signed up to Fika are not only getting one year of free access to the app, but are also playing an important part in the movement for better mental fitness.
What is Fika?
Fika is an innovative app that allows users to develop 7 mental fitness skills. The evidence-based mental fitness curriculum has been fully endorsed by NCFE and is easily accessible via an app and web browser.
The platform is Ofsted mapped and proven to build mental fitness in both students and staff in just 5 minutes per day. Designed by expert psychologists, Fika improves stress management, focus and motivation.
Mental fitness impact in numbers:
39,446 Fika registrations
21,941 hours spent in training
Closing the gap in mental fitness
Everyone can benefit from mental fitness training on Fika. That’s why centres using it are encouraging both staff and learners to make Fika part of their daily routine.
The way Fika has been adopted throughout colleges so far is impressive, and we’re seeing evidence that the gap in general understanding and teaching of mental education and fitness is closing.
